Paley Center’s annual PaleyFest Fall TV Previews has expanded, with Netflix, Hulu, Lifetime/History, EPIX, and Telemundo joining the networks. The 2018 festival will run from September 6-16. (Tickets are available to Citi cardmembers, Paley Center Supporting, and Patron Members starting today. Paley Center Individual Members can buy tickets on July 26 at 9 AM PT; the general public can buy tickets the following day.)

Christy (Anna Faris), who has been Jill’s biggest ally, struggles to help her friend in Thursday’s new installment…even to the potential detriment of her personal life. “She feels very motherly over Jill,” Faris notes in the video below. “I love that we get to put this dynamic into a show…You have these five strong women going through real life struggles. And on CBS! We constantly look around [in shock].”

Unfortunately, Jill’s hardships are the tip of the iceberg for the close-knit group of women. Marjorie (Mimi Kennedy), the makeshift family leader, will have her own road bump later in the season. “Marjorie has always been a surrogate mother figure to Christy, so I think it’s very disconcerting, of course,” Faris says. “It shakes up her world. [Bonnie] has never been a very stable figure she can count on, so it’s very jarring.”

Zoinks! SUPERNATURAL is crossing over with SCOOBY-DOO in the March 29 episode of The CW series.

“Scoobynatural” had its world premiere at Tuesday’s PaleyFest, and fans weren’t the only ones watching the hour for the first time—series stars Jared Padalecki (Sam), Jensen Ackles (Dean), Misha Collins (Castiel), and Alexander Calvert (Jack) also saw the finished product.

The installment was a long-time in the making, with Padalecki, Ackles, and Collins recording their part of the episode over a year ago. “The three of us got in the booth together,” Ackles recalled during the PaleyFest panel. “There were a lot of cameras, so you’ll see it in the special features [on the DVD].”

Can’t make it to Los Angeles for PaleyFest 2018? The Paley Center for Media announced that several of the festival’s panels will stream live on its official Facebook page. (Tickets are also still for sale for nearly all of the panels.)

Per Paley, fans can live stream the following panels: THE HANDMAID’S TALE (March 18 at 2:25 pm PT); SUPERNATURAL (March 20 at 7:35 pm PT); THE BIG BANG THEORY/YOUNG SHELDON (March 21 at 7:44 pm PT); THE GOOD DOCTOR (March 22 at 8:22 pm PT); MOM (March 24 at 2:30 pm PT); QUEEN SUGAR (March 24 at 7:30 pm PT); RIVERDALE (March 25 at 2:50 pm PT); and STRANGER THINGS (March 25 at 7:30 pm PT). (As a note, the time are approximate; they may start a few minutes later without warning.)

THE FLASH’s Barry Allen has a new goal in mind: find a way to travel back to the night his mother died, and save her from her untimely death. Unfortunately, things might not be as “easy” as Barry had hoped.

In the meantime, tonight’s hour is a big one. In addition to being delightfully fun — and, as THE FLASH co-star Tom Cavanagh (Wells) joked with reporters, “Hashtag game-changer.” — executive producer Andrew Kreisberg pointed to “Out of Time” as the best episode of the show’s run so far.

JANE THE VIRGIN left a lot of relationships in flux with the last episode: Jane turned down Rafael’s proposal, Xo and Rogelio decided to move in together; Petra and Rafael settled into a business partnership, while Jane and Michael rekindled their friendship.

So what comes next? The cast and creator teased a bit of what’s in store for “Chapter Sixteen” — including a new Michael/Rogelio bromance — before this week’s PaleyFest panel honoring the series…

Comments Off on PaleyFest 2015: GLEE’s Darren Criss and Lea Michele Preview a Special Series Finale Song

We’re less than a week away from GLEE’s two-hour series finale, and there will be a special final song for series star Lea Michele (Rachel): “This Time,” a tune penned for her/her character by co-star Darren Criss (Blaine).

“My main thing was to write this song for Lea, because any songwriter would be lucky to have Lea Michele sing their song,” Criss shared during Friday night’s PaleyFest panel honoring the series. “I basically wrote a love note to the entire experience…It’s a tough thing, but I tried to encapsulate how I felt about the show, how the characters would feel about the show, how the actors themselves feel in real-life about the show. I wrote it for everyone here, who has been experiencing it for all this time.”
